主題：預言性的話語 - 放手來讓神做新事
日期：2016年3月15日
作者：艾道格
我們仍然處在恢復和償還過去數年所失去的策略性的時期。如果你對於過去神呼召你去從事的那些事務仍然還是在虧損或是耗損情緒的狀態下，那麼對此加以禱告。當你砍斷過去的連結，神就可以用更大的方式將它帶還給你。不要擔心邏輯性的思考，因為現在所發生的事情是屬靈上的層面。
“耶和華如此說：你們不要記念從前的事，也不要思想古時的事。“（以賽亞書43：18）
放手過去的
這將會要求我們做出一些根本性的改變，放掉與過去的連結。這可能是神在過去的季節呼召你去從事的，但並非祂現在正在做的。此外，有些人一直持守著那些導致你的生命中造成損失的財產和產業。如果你的企業，過去所做的決定，購買或是財產導致你的財務狀況出血，那麼這可能是放手的時候了。
我必須放掉我覺得是神要我在2010年開始的企業。它從來沒有發展起來，而我們因此損失了錢。我並不確定為何如此，直到我開始聽到數以百計的人們也都經歷類似的事情。
我們都處在7年敵人強烈壓制的季節中。上帝本來的意圖可能是要那些好事情發生的，但由於屬靈的爭戰，決策失誤，或其他人的反對，結果是這些企業，項目等等不再有效應，現在無效了。
當我回顧那段經歷，我現在可以看出來我是試圖把“新酒裝在舊皮袋裡”。神本是呼召我來從事全新的事情，但我只是試圖用舊的方式來做事，而它是行不通的。當我關閉業務，屬靈上就釋放了某些事情。我們所需要的一個法律文件幾個月後就得到了。願意放掉行不通的東西，你就可以用新的策略進入這個新的時期。
神對我進到互聯網的呼召
先知鮑勃·瓊斯在2007年打電話給我，跟我分享了神賜給他關於我的異象。鮑勃看到各種的電腦用線路連接在一起。他看到的是互聯網，但他並沒有關於此的話語。
敵人在使用這些電腦和線路來從事邪惡的工作。然後，一個天使給了我一把銀鋼鋸，我開始把線路砍斷，切斷敵人的計劃，並將上帝的榮耀放入。
我具有高科技的背景，因此我竭盡全力要啟動這個預言，而在2008年開始了第一個“Spirit Connection webinars”。但那真是一個可怕的一年。我們的事工經歷了一個主要的分裂，我的講道邀約不見了，我們的網站被駭客攻入。除此之外，我們還有超過 30,000美元的債務。當你踏入一個新的領域，遭受攻擊這是很常見的。
我持守住神要我在互聯網上從事事工的呼召。但我仍然一年之中參加超過150個現場特會，搞得自己精疲力竭。我幾乎放棄了關於互聯網的異象，直到2012年神賜給我一個全新的策略。我們只在三天之內就還清了3萬美元的債務。對我而言，這需要心態有一個重大的調整改變來以不同的方式從事事工。
今天，我們是無債一身輕，我們有一個基於互聯網的事工，並且我有一個了不起的團隊。現在我的“My Daily Prophetic Words”，每月的“Spirit Connection webcast“，以及部落格傳遍了世界各地。我們能夠接觸的人們遠比我用以往的老辦法來經營的方式還要多的多。
我們的在線課程，不僅接觸到更多的人，他們也資助我們的事工，這樣我就得有自由來從事那些當神呼召我去做時，我就去做的事情。當你放手過去，你就有空間來容納神所賜給你的新策略。
廣播，電視和互聯網
在20世紀20年代早期，Aimee Semple McPherson這位醫治佈道家用神的能力和愛震撼了整個世界，上帝的愛和力量。她是少數幾位能夠從根本上改變在好萊塢的藝術和娛樂界的屈指可數的人物。她藉由廣播，這個當時的新銳媒體來從事。她擁有最先開播的其中一個基督教廣播電台，以新的方式將她所傳講的信息播散出去。
同樣的，神賜給Rex Humbard透過電視將耶穌的信息傳入世界各地人們的家中這個異象。他在20世紀的50年代開始第一個基督教電視網絡。當Humbard被要求主持貓王的葬禮時，因著他願意來使用媒體而影響了如此多娛樂界的人士。
耶穌和互聯網
正如電台和電視台在過去被神使用，神現在正對於互聯網有新的呼召和膏抹。在路加福音5章裡，耶穌實際上做了類似的事情，祂站在湖中的小船上將祂的信息播散給更多的人知道。
因著聲音能夠透過水面而更佳地傳播出去，這個位置實際上是提供了自然地將祂的聲音放大的果效。在此之前，講員被限制在建築物和會堂裡。但耶穌使用了一種容易讓老百姓們聽到和理解祂的演講和溝通的方式。
當祂教導完，耶穌轉向船主說道，“把船開到水深之處”。（路加福音5：4）
祂要展示給這些經驗豐富的漁民們知道，如何以新的方式來捕魚。祂超自然地顯示魚群所在之地。當他們下了漁網，捕獲的魚讓魚網都破了，他們不得不呼叫其他船隻來幫助他們 – 這正是互聯網的象徵。
神正對互聯網的使用釋放出與目前相比有所不同的新策略。祂正在呼召我們來“修復網”（互聯網）。目前正有天使和天上的資源被釋放出來以修復互聯網所導致的破壞，並帶給我們新的策略為神的國度來捕獲魚，這是遇到需要神的愛的人們的一個象徵。
注意觀看神釋放出新的策略來幫忙資助神國度所要執行的項目。如果你想參與神的新銳運動，那麼我邀請你來透過互聯網成為改變世界的一份子。
祝福你，

Prophetic Word: Let Go and Make Room for God in the New
March 15, 2016
Doug Addison
We are still in a strategic time of restoration and repayment for the things that we have lost over the past few years. If you are still losing money or emotional energy from things God had previously called you to, then pray about this. As you cut ties to the past God can then bring these things back to you in greater ways. Do not worry about thinking logically because what is happening right now is spiritual.
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.” Isaiah 43:18
Let Go of the Past
This will require many of us to make some radical changes and let go of connections to the past. This might be things that God had called you to in a previous season that are no longer what He is doing now. Also, some people have been holding on to possessions and properties that are causing losses in your life. If your finances are hemorrhaging over businesses, decisions, purchases or possessions made in the past, then it might be time to let them go.
I had to let go of a business that I felt God tell me to start in 2010. It never took off and we lost money on it. I was not sure why this happened until I started hearing the stories of hundreds of people who experienced something similar.
We were all in a seven-year season of heavy opposition of the enemy. It may have been that it was God’s intention for those good things to happen, but due to spiritual warfare, poor decisions, or others saying no, the result was that those businesses, projects, etc. became no longer effective and are now void.
As I look back at that experience I can now see that I was trying to put “new wine into an old wineskin.” God had called me to something radically new, but I was trying to use the old way of doing things and it just would not work. As I closed that business, it freed things up spiritually. And a legal document we needed came to us a few months later. Be willing to give things up that are not working so you can move into this new time with a new strategy.
God’s Call to the Internet
Prophet Bob Jones called me in 2007 and shared a vision God had given him about me. Bob saw all kinds of computers that were connected together with wires. He was seeing the Internet, but he did not have words for it.
The enemy was using these computers and the wires for evil. Then an angel gave me a silver hacksaw and I began cutting into the wires and short circuiting the plans of the enemy and putting in the glory of God instead.
I have a high-tech background so I did my best to activate this prophetic word by launching our first Spirit Connection webinars in 2008. It was a terrible year for us. We went through a major split within my ministry, I stopped getting speaking invitations and our website got hacked. On top of it we went over $30,000 in debt. It is common to get opposition when you move into new territory.
I stayed with the calling God had given me to do ministry through the Internet. But I was still traveling to over 150 live conferences a year and I was exhausted. I had almost given up on the vision of the Internet until 2012 when God gave me a radical new strategy. We were able to pay off the $30,000 debt in a matter of three days. It took a major mindset change for me to do ministry in a different way.
Today we are debt-free, we have an Internet-based ministry and I have an amazing team of virtual employees. My Daily Prophetic Words, monthly Spirit Connection webcast and blog now go all over the world. We are able to touch way more people than I would have if I had stayed with our old way of operating.
Our online courses not only touch more people, they help fund our ministry so that I can have the freedom to do what God calls me to do, when He calls me to do it. As you let go of the past, you will make room for God to give you a new strategy.
Radio, TV and the Internet
In the early 1920s, healing evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson rocked the entire world with God’s love and power. She was one of the few who were able to radically change the arts and entertainment industry in Hollywood. She did this through radio, the cutting-edge media of her day. She owned one of the first Christian radio stations that broadcasted her messages in a new way.
Similarly, God gave Rex Humbard a vision to take the message of Jesus into the homes of people all over the world through TV. He started the first Christian television network in the 1950s. Humbard influenced so many people in the entertainment industry with his willingness to use media that he was asked to officiate Elvis Presley’s funeral.
Jesus and the Internet
Just as radio and television were used by God in the past, God is bringing a new calling and anointing to the Internet. In Luke 5, Jesus actually did something similar as He stood in a boat on a lake to broadcast His message to more people.
This position actually provided natural amplification as His voice would carry better over the water. Previously, speakers were limited to buildings and synagogues. But Jesus used a style of speaking and communicating that made it easy for the common people to hear and understand Him.
When he was done teaching, Jesus turned to the owners of the boat and said, “Put out into deep water.” Luke 5:4
He was going to show these seasoned fisherman how to fish in a new way. He showed them supernaturally where the fish were located. When they let down their nets there were so many fish that the nets broke and they had to call other boats over to help them—which symbolizes the need for networking.
God is releasing a new strategy to use the Internet for something different than what it is currently being used for. He is calling us to “fix the net” (the Internet). There are angels and heavenly resources being released right now to repair the damage from the Internet and bring us new strategies to catch fish for the Kingdom, which is symbolic of encountering people in need of God’s love.
Watch as God releases new strategies to help fund new Kingdom projects. If you have wanted to be part of a cutting-edge movement of God, then I would like to invite you to be part of changing the world through the Internet.
Blessings,
Doug Addison
